Paradise sig. Div

Beare not a frendly face, with hart of Iudas kisse, +The kiss that betrayed Christ, see glossary . It shewes, a base and vile conceipt, and not where valure is.

(25) Flye from a faunyng flurtobsequious, fickle, inconstant person, often a woman , and from a coggyng matecheating, wheedling companion , Their loues breedes losse, their prayse reproch, their frendshipfrēdship breeds but hate, Seeke not to loose by wiles, that law and duetie bindes, They be but helpes of Banckrupts heads, and not of honest myndes.

The motions of the flesh, and Collerscholer’s, anger’s heate restraine, (30) For heapes of harmes do dayly haphappen , where lust or rage doth raigne: In diet, deede and wordes, a modest meane is best, Inough sufficeth for a feast, +Proverbial: ‘Enough is as good as a feast’, Tilley, Proverbs , E158. but riot findes no rest.

And so to make an end, let this be borne away: That vertue alwayes be thy guide, so shalt thou neuer stray.

FINIS. +the ‘Finis’ is followed by 3 decorative dots arranged in an inverted triangle

T He deepe turmoyled wightman , that liues deuoyde of ease, Whose wayward wittes are often found, more wauering then the seas: Seekes sweete repose abroad, and takes delight to rome, Where reason leaues the Snayle for ruleas his habitual mode of life , to keepe a quiet home.
